Han You suddenly entered the palace. Boss Zhou and Ma Rufeng were not expecting it, and their mentality was also different.
Boss Zhou knew that Han You was talented and could speak for at least twenty years, but he didn't know exactly how advanced this skill was.
Ma Rufeng also knew that Han You was not an easy person. The Liu and Wu families were caught inexplicably. They were bound to be unable to recover. Even his own son was trapped.
However, Ma Rufeng still made a mistake that people of this age always make. He looked down on young people and thought that no matter how powerful young people are, how powerful they can be.
Although his son was arrested and released, Ma Rufeng still couldn't swallow this breath. When he saw Han You, he would inevitably use words to trap him.
Unexpectedly, Han You returned the trap and put it on his head directly in front of the emperor. It couldn't strangle anyone, but it was disgusting, very disgusting. His head and face were all sticky and sticky.
Ma Rufeng was really arrogant. Instead of rounding up his words, he stroked his beard and smiled: "That's true. Although my Ma family does some horse selling business, we have some friendship with many merchants, so it is appropriate to give me a little favor. The court will investigate The Ma family has to pay all the tax money, even my Ma family has paid it, so those merchants still want to fish in troubled waters."
As soon as he said these words, Han You looked strange and subconsciously looked at the emperor.
As expected, Boss Zhou's face looked a little ugly.
Han You's face was full of confusion, as if he was asking, is this Lao Deng usually so arrogant?
Boss Zhou looked at Han You, as if to say, yes, this old man has always been very arrogant.
He is indeed arrogant. If anyone else had already looked frightened, how dare he say anything. The merchants in the capital would give him face, as if to express that the Ma family is so crazy. Even he has befriended him, and who dares not to be so? Not giving him face does not mean not giving face to the court, but not giving him face to the Ma family.
Ma Rufeng is not a fool, how could he really fall out with the emperor on the spot, he added.
"Scholarships, farmers, workers, and merchants. Business is considered a despicable profession. The work they do is despicable, and the people are also despicable. They always want to take advantage of some loopholes in business laws. The officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs are all people who have read poetry and books. When they meet people who are full of Merchants with heretical ideas are naturally helpless. I am engaged in a lowly business, but I dare not deceive the court. Not only do I not dare to deceive, if I know that any merchant is cheating, I will definitely scold him."
The story has come true, I, Ma Rufeng, am the incarnation of Tsukino Rabbit, and my main focus is justice. We don’t play heresy, we just use justice to influence businessmen, so everyone give me face.
But these words are still a little awkward in the ears of the emperor. I am the emperor's tax supervisor, and I still need you to bring justice to me. Are you better than me?
"well said."
Han You picked up the wine glass, with a look of admiration on his face: "Students respect Ma Weng the most, a distinguished person with high moral character and high esteem for the imperial court. I would like to propose a toast to you."
Ma Rufeng laughed. Before he could speak, Han You looked at the emperor again: "Your Majesty, this business tax goes wrong every year. It is delayed every year. It is even more difficult to collect it all and collect it accurately. The student suddenly felt that if Ma How about Weng joining the court as an official and being responsible for taxation?"
The emperor looked amused by Gou Ri, and Ma Rufeng was also confused.
Han You said seriously: "Businessmen all have to give some thin noodles to Ma Weng and the Ma family. How about recommending Ma Weng as an official in the court? No, it's not just Ma Weng. The Ma family are all loyal and brave people, and they have many business affairs. Regarding the matter, Ma Wenzhi, Ma Tang, Ma Jingyan, Ma Tie, and Ma Yangshan, it is better to recommend them all to become officials in the court. When they enter the court, they will join the Household Department and be responsible for the tax affairs. What is your Majesty's opinion?"
A sure blow, just pay for it.
If the horse was in danger and would have gone mad on the spot, the emperor was happy and looked at the old horse's head with a smile.
The people Han You mentioned are all the current core disciples of the Ma family, and they are in charge of the main business of the Ma family. If they all join the court as officials, they will become lambs to be slaughtered.
For others, becoming an official is a great blessing.
But for the Ma family at this stage, becoming an official means tying one's own hands and feet.
It was not another yamen that I went to, but the Ministry of Revenue.
If you really go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to supervise taxes, it will be an offending job. It is a matter of loose connections. The more you supervise, the worse the relationship will be.
At first, everyone will give you Ma family face, but over time, they will always have to give you face to pay for their own money, who would be happy.
But if you can't collect taxes, then you are just a loser, you are a waste, you are a corpse, you are not doing anything in your position, let alone the emperor, the prime ministers and ministers have all the ways to deal with them.
Before Ma Rufeng could refuse, Han You drank the wine in one gulp and poured another drink to Ma Rufeng.
"Ma Weng also said just now that he is devoted to the court, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he also understands the affairs of merchants. The merchants will also give you face. You are the most suitable for this job."
Ma Rufeng said quickly: "I am old, where..."
"Ma Wenzhi, Ma Tang, Ma Jingyan, Ma Shun, Ma Yangshan and others are not very old. They can shine for the court."
"These children of the Ma family are not talented enough to learn..."
"You don't need to read poetry and books. Didn't you say that all merchants will give you Ma's face? They understand merchants' affairs better."
"This...this..." Ma Rufeng was a little flustered: "The children of the Ma family...the merchants in the capital are...not..."
Han You's smile faded: "Isn't it because I gave your Ma family face that I paid the tax amount?"
"this…"
Ma Rufeng was ashamed and angry. He weighed the pros and cons in an instant, and his old face turned red: "I am old, and I am a little drunk after drinking a few glasses of water and wine. What I said is wrong, yes, what I said is wrong. I am bragging, bragging, Yes, you are boasting. The matter of business tax depends on Mr. Han’s life, so you can collect it all. What does it have to do with me... What does I have to do with the Ma family? Ha, hahaha, it’s like this. The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared.”
Han You showed his signature smile again.
If you want to pretend to be bad in front of me, you are still far away!
In fact, Ma Rufeng really didn't want to grab any credit, and it had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to increase his presence and reiterate the position of his Ma family in the "business district" of Beijing. How could he have thought that Han You would not give in? , not only didn’t he let him take any advantage, but he didn’t even let him pretend to be B.
Han You suddenly frowned and said slightly angrily: "Ma Weng's words are serious. Being able to collect all the tax money cannot be attributed to the students. It is His Highness Youwang sweating like rain under the scorching sun. It is the imperial court's strong support and no doubt in employing people. It is the emperor." Personal supervision has added trust, it is the hard work of the monarchs and ministers, and it is the adults who work hard and keep doing it. The students are just following the tail and traveling thousands of miles. Without a good platform, how can the students display their talents? You should not praise the students , we should praise the imperial court, praise you all, and respect your majesty. It is your majesty who plans well, is far-sighted, and strategizes in the palace."
When the words fell, both those who were silent and those who were not silent became silent.
Concubine Qing looked at Han You with almond-shaped eyes.
Is this kid really the son of General Han?
The old eunuch has an incomprehensible expression. This kid is so cool. We have to ask for advice when we have time. If he can say this without blushing and out of breath, this kid was probably a shameless eunuch in his last life.
Ma Rufeng stared at Han You closely, suspecting that this boy had been an official before.
Only the emperor had a sullen face, seeming to be thinking about something.
After thinking about it, Boss Zhou suddenly felt that... it seemed like this. Although I was pouting in the palace every day, I planned very far-sighted and strategized. So the biggest contributor to this matter... was me?
Han You smiled slightly at Ma Rufeng: "Ma Weng, I don't agree with what the student said. If you don't agree, it's the credit of the adults in the court. If you don't agree, it's because of your majesty's good planning."
Ma Rufeng felt as if he had taken a mouthful of shit. This was so annoying. He turned to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is very far-sighted and well-planned. I admire you. I admire you to the utmost. I admire you, I admire you very much."
The emperor laughed loudly and confirmed that it was indeed my fault. Even the old coffin said so.
